Songs that Enter the Mind because of Childhood

Often when people are getting to know you, they ask, "What music do you like to listen too?"

I never liked this question because unlike most people, my answer was always different. Growing up, music was never a priority to me. If I did listen to music, I loved listening to Disney soundtracks. I also had a lot of church music that my mom would buy for me for my birthday or for Christmas. I did enjoy listening to that music as well, since it was positive, inspiring, and uplifting.

As I am moving into adulthood, I have realized how good it was to listen to that type of music. Often when a song comes to my mind, it is either a Disney song or a church song. They are uplifting songs. Not ones that I wish would get out of my head.

Music can be a positive influence or a negative influence. I am grateful for my mom and for her influence on my good music choices. I don't think she has any idea how she affected me in this way, but I am grateful for the good, positive music I was brought up with.

Songs that come to my mind:
"Dancing bears, painted wings, things I almost remember. And a song, someone sings, Once Upon a December." ~Anastasia

"I see my mother knelling, with my family each day. I hear words she whipsers as bows her head to pray. Her plead to the Father quiets all my fears. And I am thankful, Love is spoken here." ~From the Primary Songbook for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

"I am child of God, heaven blessed. I have grown and truth and righteousness, I will never let my faith grow dim, I will testify of him."

"Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kitten. [...] These are a few of my favorite things. When the dog bites, when bee stings, when I am feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things. And then I don't feel so bad."  ~The Sound of Music
